    <u>Your task:</u>
</h2>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
    <br>
    In this study, <b>you will decide between two hypothetical payments.</b>
    <ul>
    <li>
        The <b>“future payment”</b> pays $100 <b>at some point in the future (i.e., with some specific delay).</b>
    </li>
    <li>
        The <b>“immediate payment”</b> pays <b>a specific amount now.</b>
    </li>
    <li>
        For all hypothetical payments in this study, <b>please treat them as if you know you will receive them with certainty,</b> even if they are delayed. That is, please assume there is no risk that you wouldn’t actually get paid.  
    </li>
    <li>
        In each round, you will be told the <b>delay of the future payment (of $100) as well as the amount of the immediate payment.</b> You will then decide between the two payments.
    </li>
    <li>
        In total, you will complete 11 rounds of this task. Across these rounds, the delay of the future payment will vary. These rounds are completely independent from one another.

    <ul>
        <li>
            In this example, the delay of the future payment is 10 months.
        </li>
        <li>
            You then need to decide whether you prefer this delayed payment or a given immediate payment.
        </li>
        <li>
            You will make your decisions in a choice list, <b>where each row is a separate choice.</b>
            <ul>
                <li>
                    In every list, the left-hand option is a delayed payment that is identical in all rows. The right-hand option is an immediate payment. The immediate payment increases from row-to-row as you go down the list.
                </li>
                <li>
                    To make a choice just click on the radio button you prefer for each choice (i.e. for each row).
                </li>
                <li>
                    <b>An effective way to complete these choice lists is to determine in which row you would prefer to switch from choosing the delayed payment to choosing the immediate payment.</b> 
                    You can click on that row and we will automatically fill out the rest of the list for you, by selecting the delayed payment in all rows above and immediate payment in all rows below your selected row. 
                </li>
                <li>
                    Based on where you switch from the delayed payment to the immediate payment in this list, we assess which immediate payment you value as much as the future payment. 
                </li>
                <li>
                    For example, in the choice list above, your choice suggests that you value the future payment as much as an immediate payment between $30 and $35 because this is where you switched.
                </li>   
            </ul> 
        </li>
    </ul>

   <u>Your certainty:</u>

<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
   <br>
   In each round, we will ask you two questions:
    <br>
   <ul>
       <li>
        You will decide between a future payment and different immediate payments. We will use these decisions to assess how much the delayed payment is worth to you. 
    </li>
       <li>
        We will ask you <b>how certain</b> you are about your decisions. Specifically, we are interested in how likely you think it is (in percentage terms) that your decisions actually reflect how much you value the delayed payment.
       </li>
